I have taken a few times and liked the effects altho rather short lived. Since becoming a kratom afficonado Im thinking it would mix great with it; with kratom being the backbone and kava just rounding out the sedation and chilling vibes.
Ive been on the lookout for a gabaergic to slot into this position but other options seem somehow dangerous to my pathetically fragile and anxious disposition. That or totally worthless such as the next to inert 'herbal remedies'.
But the main gripe is the liver toxicity worry; compared to the other options this seems to be the 'lesser evil'. I have read the old stuff about kava's liver issues read around the net like others but not in a couple of years cos kava was off my radar.
What are the general thoughts recently about it? Is it generally thought of as harmless? Is the sample size of regular users large enough to warrant it as a harmless substance? They tried to posit that it was a genetic thing which meant the islanders could use it for so long without incident but its gained a decent western following now hasn't it. For enough years for it to show whether or not it would have reacted badly to this other genetic audience.
